helping

oh yeah you'll see it's gonna be

me up there in lights oh show that

pretty what helping's all about

henry something tells me you don't have

the first idea what being helpful really

means

of course i do i've been helping myself

for years

i even have second helpings when there's

cake

i'm talking about helping others

especially human beings

they're one of my favorite animals

for a long time humans have relied on

animals to help them get around

they're especially helpful in crossing

terrain where cars and boats can't go

cool man if you're a

cool man

[Applause]

animal's fur clipped in summer helps

people stay warm through the harshest

mongolian winters

[Music]

and animals have been helping humans on

farms for literally

thousands of years what

they haven't had a lunch break that's

terrible

henry don't you get it people have been

developing special relationships with

animals for centuries

animals help people in need and in

return

many people help animals when they're in

need

[Music]

for vets it's their job sometimes they

even get to help endangered animals like

this rhino

i went to the vet once i said doctor

doctor i've got a pain in the neck

what did he say to that that makes two

of us i'm not surprised

have you joined the boy scouts henry

henry's help scouts actually

i promise to do my best to help

other animals and to win that contest no

matter what

now who needs help around here

[Music]

you here let me help you cross that road

no which comes first the chicken or the

egg eenie meenie miney moe

when the lizard's green it's time to go

i always wanted to know henry why did

the chicken cross the road

because the lizard said so look both

ways move along now

now for that egg careful there henry

don't drop it what

henry oh no

how wonderful it is to help a new baby

into this world

do you think i'm cut out for the caring

professions caring yes

carrying no way well from the looks of

it

those guys don't need any animal helpers

they've got a great big red tractor

instead

you'd be surprised henry even nowadays

you can still find a lot of farmers

using horses or oxen to help them plow

fields

and you know how strong they are how

strong

as strong as an ox

thanks henry you're a big help anytime

when there are cattle to round up the

caballeros of south american grasslands

need all the help they can get

[Applause]

you mean cowboys don't you yeah

they're riding rounding up the little

doggies roping calves

almost caballeros are cowboys henry

highly skilled too but without their

horses to help them get around

they would never be able to manage these

huge cattle ranches

on the other hand they wouldn't have to

worry about getting saddle sore either

ow

[Music]

have another helpful scheme henry you

betcha

kneels on wheels it's just a small way

to help out some of my oldest

and dearest friends like that

not that kind of deer she can get her

own dinner

henry now he's perfect

oh brother hiya tortoise i brought you

some dinner

i've got hamburger cheeseburger mini

burger mondo burger large fries small

fry slice

of cake onion rings crunchy things diet

cola spicy wings

and i'll top it all off with an extra

large shake

here whoops should have made that a

medium

wouldn't you know it bring all this

great food

and all the guy wants is the side salad

oh well

if you can't help others help yourself

henry it's only helping if you bring

them what they like to eat

or lead them to what they like to eat

i tried that was i didn't know he'd be

such a picky eater

it may come as a surprise to you but not

everyone loves junk food henry

here in west africa you'll find some

people who share a taste for fresh fish

with a surprising animal helper

once their nets are in place the

fishermen call bottlenose dolphins

towards the shore by beating the sea

with a stick

dolphins how do they help

the school of dolphins forms a living

net driving any fish in their path

toward the shore

and straight into the fisherman's nets

bingo

[Music]

what do you call those fish gray mullet

they should be called

popcorn fish the way they pop out of the

sea

this amazing relationship between man

and dolphin has existed here for

hundreds of years

and it helps the dolphins too the

fishermen leave them leftovers in reward

for their services

or as my mom always said make sure you

leave a little something for mr manners

some people in france have a great

food-finding helper you're kidding

pigs don't they hug all the food

oh they'd like to especially when

they're digging for truffles which pigs

are particularly good at rooting out

so what are truffles anyway they're a

kind of fungi

like a mushroom which grows underground

on tree roots

these pigs have been specially bred for

truffle hunting with their fine sense of

smell

i never met a pig that smelled fine

looks like she's got one

they must be pretty tasty

these people think so too truffles are

one of the most sought after and most

expensive foods on earth

it's like i always say everybody loves a

fungi

oh please

[Music]

[Music]

henry henry it's time for your report on

bat droppings

what now yes now

out of my way germa lizard coming

through

[Music]

tonight chimps builds smallest racetrack

yet

and kangaroos get bruised

but now our top story

we've all heard of hockey playing ducks

and we know

crickets invented the game of cricket

but the latest animal to make it big in

sports

is a baseball bat his name

bat guano he's got great batting

technique

thanks to a lifetime of batting practice

he's great at catching fly ba*ls

or just plain flies too bad he always

drops them

in fact he leads the league in drubbings

however bat will only play night games

he spends his days just hanging out at

home

jack grew up on a farm where he used to

help out any way he could

till one day he caught that old baseball

bug

and was spotted by talent scout eagle

eye malloy

who protected him from all the sharks

out there and

encouraged him screaming go go guano

which is just what back does best

[Music]

you think they bought it you couldn't

even give it away henry

let's

i'll grant you one thing though bat

guano

does exist i knew it

you'll find it in a cave like this one

in thailand near a buddhist monastery

so does that make these bats buddhists

well they are prized by the monks for

the guano they produce

so which one's guano where is he

[Music]

the guano's in the cave henry and the

local farmers are going to find it

but all the bats just left

[Music]

you still don't get it do you henry

guano isn't a bad

it's something that comes out of a bat

like

little squeaks a wrong end oh

whatever you think of it these farmers

think bat manure is great stuff

what do they use it for not cooking i

hope

the manure is sold to farmers to use as

fertilizer on their crops

and there's no shortage of it with so

many bats living in the cave

so indirectly the bats are animal

helpers

helping people earn a living and put

food on the table

by dropping on the floor that's crazy

not crazy henry batty

that goody goody goody what's she doing

now

getting spied on i see babysitting a

pretty with the whammy

now why didn't i think of that i still

don't think you understand the true

spirit of helping henry oh yes i do

i'm going to help myself to that prize

here goody now fetch the ball fetch the

ball

[Music]

and now to hide the lamb and get goody

into trouble

keep quiet lambie and she'll never find

us

[Music]

oh hi there goody uh i was just trying

to help you

out with the babysitting uh right lemmy

rats i almost got away with it henry you

never had a chance

you should have known that when it comes

to being helpful the top dog

is a dog that's true up here too

every mountain has its beauty and also

its dangers

the american rockies are no different

that's where these guys come in oh

great is this one of those dramatic

reconstructions of a heroic pet rescue

i love these things but how come they've

always got

dogs in them they should have more about

lizards

in reality henry dogs make excellent

search and rescue helpers

combining their natural skills with

extensive training

why is that they're fast and strong

fearless comfortable around people

and most of all they just love to be

helpful

yeah tell me about it

this rescue dog is being trained in the

fine art of avalanche rescue

[Music]

because of their high intelligence and

fantastic sense of smell

golden retrievers are particularly good

at this

the trainee loses no time in sniffing

out a survivor

how do you know what's down there we'll

soon find out

rescue dogs never give up once they've

picked up ascent

looks like there's air down there

even with an air pocket a person would

be lucky to survive for very long buried

in snow

good doggy good doggie look henry they

found a survivor wait a second

is that a real person down there they

try to make these practice rescues as

real for the dogs as possible

but we should remind all our viewers out

there don't

try this at home oh i wanted to say that

[Music]

[Music]

um

and now ladies and gentle lizards it's

time for henry's amazing golden gecko

awards

the winners of my all-time best amazing

animal helper are

[Music]

in third place for proving that when it

comes to helping out around the farm

two heads are better than one it's the

ox

and in second place with an eye for

adventure

a nose for danger and two ears for the

price of one

it's the search and rescue super pooch

but tonight's golden gecko award winner

comes straight from the school of hard

knocks

forget goody the wonder dog i'm talking

about that hard-working helper of the

frozen north

the reindeer they're called reindeer

because they love walking in the rain

henry

okay they're called that because they'll

let you tie a rope around them and rain

them in

too bad nobody told these ones reindeer

are found in northernmost europe and

here

in frozen siberia where the nomads have

a tradition of moving on

whenever they feel a longing for wider

pastures

now you may think that the heaviest

thing a reindeer ever has to pull

is a stout gentleman around the rooftops

once a year

but now you can finally see that

reindeer will actually help move your

whole family

including your house and your little dog

too

and if that isn't a mobile home i don't

know what is

in fact reindeer are so helpful they'll

all try to get in on the act

besides helping humans they help each

other by sticking close together

which helps them to stay warm in the

arctic freezer

the bond between man and reindeer is

very close up here

and both animals have enough sense to

head south

before the worst of the long winter sets

in

the humans benefit from the free ride

south and the reindeer

will they get the golden gecko award

plus a gourmet dinner for one

from the nomad of their choice

[Applause]

[Music]

um

[Music]

[Applause]

henry what are you up to now if i'm

going to be

goody in this helpful game it's gonna

take some heroic action

introducing lizard man

the greatest helper in my universe

now all i need is someone to help

why could he what's that you say

little timmy's gone down the well and

his mommy's worried

[Laughter]

because he hasn't got his water wings

stop your whimpering

this looks like a job for

prepare for takeoff

here i go

[Music]

help me someone it's dark down here

help is on the way henry

[Music]

everything's fine timmy

[Applause]

goody i can't be saved by goody drop

that rope

[Music]

don't you remember the old saying pride

goeth before a fall

now wise up henry

when you really need help you have to

take it where you find it

if orangutans can do it so can you

ah isn't he the sweetest little thing

he is but being so intelligent and good

looking

has its disadvantages too oh don't i

just know it

this is an orangutan orphanage on the

asian island of borneo

where a new orphan is getting checked in

by the vet

what happened to his parents many

orangutans are orphaned because of

forest fires or accidents

even worse because baby orangutans are

so cute

some people see them as pets

they get taken away from their parents

before they have a chance to learn the

ways of the wild

like how to ride in wheelbarrows without

falling out

no i mean the basics of climbing and

feeding themselves

fortunately as well as a few harmful

people out there

there are a lot of good people around

too they've become animal helpers

themselves

helping animals to learn how to cope

with each other and return to their

proper home

excuse me but that's just

beautiful

hey there lizard man what's the news

haven't you heard

and here comes the star of our parade

our very own

animal of the year hi there

hello thank you don't tell me you won

not exactly you can't compete with a

do-gooder like goody do good here

but i did learn a lot about helping

today i'm really glad to hear that henry

in fact goody wants me to help her eat

her pizza at the awards dinner tonight

right goodie

henry you've got a long way to go i

don't mind
